Einstein's Riddle
- wadE
Either this is true, or it is a wide-spread hoax, but I received an email this week
touting a riddle that Albert Einstein himself created and declared the 98% of the people
in this world would not be able to solve it.
I'm pleased to say that after 20 minutes, I clicked on the attached link and found
that I was right.
Go me!
So now it's your turn. I'll post the answer next week!
Good luck!
